Where did you get that number?

Sidekiq is a one person business. The creator, Mike Perham, gave an interview about what it was like building his business: https://www.indiehackers.com/interview/sidekiq-6e71309457

If you don't know how to even get started, what do you have to gain from just being stuck?

When I started on the assembly track, looking at others code to figure out how to get set up for the first challenge allowed me to do the rest on my own.

I've had better luck with getting reviews when I form or join teams.

One reason to submit before it passes is so that you can see how others did it. If you're learning a new language and don't even know where to start, it can be useful to get help from others first then try to implement it yourself.

Why is the onus of lowering their standards being pushed on educated women? One of the issues the author states is that men increasingly go for younger women instead of ones their own age. Why do we value youth and beauty instead of education and accomplishments?

I started using the robokiller app and it's made a huge difference for me. I get at least a few telemarketer calls every day and I had stopped answering any phone calls. I've been using the app for a few months and now only get calls that I want. Definitely worth the money for me.

I love seeing this on HN! I'm particularly fond of Bach's cello suites but I'm probably biased since I'm a cellist. http://allofbach.com/en/bwv/bwv-1010/

That seems like a reasonable ratio considering that bootcamps are a popular way for women to break into the industry.

The video isn't working when I try to view it so without it, there's not enough messaging and information to help me understand exactly what I should expect out of your product. Is it a dating site? It is a chat roulette knock off? I don't really know.

It would be nice if there was information about what is allowed, what isn't, how you'll handle inappropriate or abusive situations, etc.

They'll tell you.

I could see this being fun if I was interested in going to a specific event in my area but didn't have anyone to go with and was single. Of course, there is the risk/downside of what happens if it didn't go well but that's a risk for any first date.

They've already stated that it'll be a few years before they'll get ruby 3X faster.

Great job! One note: a few of the images/logos are broken. Example: https://remotebase.io/reinteractive

That's pretty cool! Do you have any plans to have it respect the boundaries of solid objects it comes in contact with such as the poles it's tethered to? Currently, the cloth will go through the poles instead of interacting with the poles as solid objects.

Reasons I've been chosen for extra screening by the TSA: - They saw something in my bag (I didn't bring a bag) - They needed to confiscate contraband (granola bar) - My sweatshirt zipper "interfered with scanning my breasts thoroughly enough" - They "randomly selected me" 15 times in a row

At this point, I make sure to budget lots of extra time to get through their nonsense procedures in order to make my flight.

Have you tried exercism.io? There is a code review process built into the platform and the exercises are short and fun.

I love this idea. My cousin and I have been sending each other postcards frequently for years. She's always good about sending them often while I'm only good at purchasing neat postcards with the intent to send them.

Why do power-ups inconsistently change the markdown for Github links?

When you don't have power-ups enabled, it will shorten all Github links and add a nicer format to certain types but when you do have the power-ups, it no longer shortens Github links at all but adds the octocat to the beginning.

While having power-ups can be nice, the added inconsistency is a bit off-putting. It would be great to shorten and format all of the links in the same fashion across all boards regardless of whether or not you have power-ups enabled on that particular board.

I'm sad that there isn't a Qt Licensing dance to explain the changes.

I hope that this will help lower the insanely high utility bills that Portland residents have to pay.

I've been to a few across the US and my favorites so far have both been in Colorado:

Develop Denver - https://developdenver.org/

Rocky Mountain Ruby - http://rockymtnruby.com/

Same for Wellington's waterfront wifi! It was very helpful for quick Skype calls and looking up information, especially when internet anywhere else in the city was very expensive.

It was called Surreal Estate. I believe it's still there but at this point, I assume anyone still living there is just a squatter.

This seems to get trotted out once a year like it's a new discovery.

Consumer Reports study from 2010: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/2010/jan...

University of Central Florida study from 2011 (I can't find it online anymore) was mentioned in some of the other studies as saying basically the same thing.

New York Times on The Pink Tax from last year: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/13/opinion/the-pink-tax.html?...

Of course they want women to use the women's razors when they're more expensive. That's just common sense on their part.

A few books I read for fun this year:

- Armada: Ernest Cline - Very disappointing and predictable

- Library of Souls: Ransom Riggs - Easy but engrossing book

- Ruby Under a Microscope: Pat Shaughnessy - I find his style of explaining things very accessible

- Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End: Atul Gawande - It's a hard subject to think about but helped me to understand that prolonging life and continuing treatment shouldn't necessarily be the end goal for every case.

- Go in Action: William Kennedy - A must if you're learning Go lang

Wow have times changed. I lived in a (much less nice) communal building in Bushwick, Brooklyn a few years ago and it was just $500 a month for a room. As a newbie to NYC at the time, it was really great to jump into a fully formed community but after a while, it was just too much to be surrounded by people all the time. You could tell others were having the same issues and people started to pick fights over silly things and it just became a very stressful experience. This place is significantly nicer than where I stayed but I wonder how the issues that come with putting a large group of diverse people together in one space will be handled.
